Features

The Regal Electric Fireplace comes with a quiet fan-forced heater. This is one of the outstanding features that are very vital in the operation of the stove. The heater comes with HI/Lo settings to adequately control the heat supply. If you do not need any heat in your home but still want to have the visual effect, the No Heat option will come in handy. This function ensures that you can watch the beautiful flames without the stove consuming a lot of energy, thus cutting on heating costs. However, there is no remote control, and all controls must be set manually.

Another great feature is the 2-foot power cord, which gives one freedom to move the stove from one point to the other. The flexibility of the stove is quite vital given that it is a small stove that can only heat up to 400 square feet. Its heating capacity only allows you to heat a small area of your home, and if you have a huge house, moving the stove from one point to the other would be the best option. With this cable, you can unplug the stove and plug it into any standard household power outlet to heat another room where the heat is needed at that particular moment.

A unique feature that you will not find in most stoves is the viewing mesh. This is a feature that enhances the stove’s beauty as it gives a 3-sided panoramic view of the ember bed and flames. The double mesh door can either be opened or closed. Opening and closing the door should be done carefully, as the stove’s top, bottom and stand are made of plastic and could be broken easily. Therefore, the door should be left in a state in which it wouldn’t increase the chances of knocking down the stove.

A professional’s assistance may be necessary.

Just ensure that is free from rust and it will maintain its great shape and form for decades. The stove comes with a plastic stand, which supports the stove but can be easily broken.

Value For Money
